Yep. 'Web Wallets' sounds good.

I'm not sure about a mobile section since that can be represented using the platform icons; for instance Electrum has an android client - would that get another entry for mobile clients?

Thanks Mike, I updated the page with your descriptions. Although I do agree that the Electrum text is inaccurate - it's not user friendly *yet*, not because its core focus is technical people. I did move MultiBit first because your reasons were solid. I can agree that Electrum has a problem with distribution (no packages, difficult/obscure install instructions for most, random win32 builds from forum). Armory is not much better in that regards, so I used a coinflip to select their order

If anyone wants to test, then add this to your hosts file:

176.31.24.241    bitcoin.org


For all the complaining about centralisation on this forum, people sure seem to be fighting my efforts to promote alternative clients, to avoid promoting a strong exchange competitor by continuing to trade on MtGox and to avoid getting involved with development (bitcoin library with Python bindings is out there). We should not be pushing something because it is simply the path of least resistance, but instead pushing the hard path which is more rewarding and satisfying in the long run - a truly decentralised cryptocurrency which is free from control and corruption.

This is the end goal of bitcoin.org:

http://bittorrent.org/

BitTorrent is what I would call a decentralised piece of software driven by merit. The BitTorrent client marketplace is highly competitive and diverse.

Here's the front page:



Clients page:

Sure, can you give me a 250x200 picture, a 400 char max description and the website? Please keep the description neutral sounding and focused. I didn't put it because I don't own a phone and haven't tried Paytunia nor kept up with mobile developments Not because of any political thing.

BTW if you want to write a BitcoinMedia about it then give me an email.

Two questions: is it open-source? Does it store people's keys (wallet) locally on the device?

OK, I'll try to respond to comments


Done.


The front page recommends Bitcoin-Qt and offers it as download (like currently on bitcoin.org).


This is FUD. Electrum relies on libbitcoin which is BIP16 compliant and handles blockchain reorgs fine. Armory depends on bitcoind. MultiBit is based on BitCoinJ which is well tested in many clients and more than 1 year old.


Yeah, I agree with this. Also it's too restrictive a format for projects. There's no meaningful way to compare them really. I think name, pic, website, description is best.


Descriptions aren't final. They are just temporary place-holders. People would submit their own after. This is just pedantry.


Redundant.


Changed this to 'Bitcoin Client Software'


http://bittorrent.org/

I'm strongly against terms like "official" and prefer "recommended". Who designates the designations. It is against the spirit of a decentralised software to have terms like "official".

If you're worried about usability then figure that most new users are not downloading a client but using services like InstaWallet or an actual wallet website.



I'm not familiar with this space so I didn't add them. Best to add them after.

Both have their pros and cons. The vertical list allows bigger images and more text. Second one is more conducive to easy reading (less horizontal scanning and descriptions are shorter).

Thx for reading

GCC 4.7 has a bug in it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4940259/c11-lambdas-require-capturing-this-to-call-static-member-function

I need to get around to installing that compiler and adding a workaround for that. GCC 4.6 is fine.

No idea why Linux distributions like Arch are including an unstable compiler!!

cool. can ya pop a shrimp on the barby for me cunt. i gotta hop on skippy and bounce down to the local for a stella

next year will be bigger and better for sure. up and up! gl high five at pulling it off

Quote by Nick Szabo who made bit gold, one of the fore-runners to bitcoin:

I use 4096 bits for everything, so I'm fine.

Broke artists dressed in drag making rap videos invest in bitcoin? They are begging for donations. I hardly think of them as an investor. No, the message they give out for the minimal cost they accrue (supported by voluntary patronage) is fantastic! I'm super happy they are making such high quality videos for really cheap AND accepting bitcoins.

Or would you prefer them to sing about Celebrity and Starbucks and instead those bitcoin donations they got, instead go towards speculation on MtGox and paying MagicalTux's debt (which he still hasn't paid back to many). I think this is a great use of bitcoins (funding culture and the internet), and the main reason I got into it. It demonstrates to an outside audience that bitcoin is more than drugs, paedophiles, money laundering and organised crime. Bitcoin is world changing, and Juice Rap New's lyrics echo the world changing sentiments of these times.

I cannot think of a better use for bitcoins possible now.

Sure, good idea. I changed their article.

Damn, you people are fast. Maybe the OP wants to update with their statement:
http://bitcoinmedia.com/juice-rap-news-joins-bitcoins-struggle/

I contacted them a year ago about Bitcoin & Free (as in Freedom!) OpenSource Software, and sending them emails about all these things every so often. I wanted them to mention OpenSource Software in one of their videos since it's related & cool (people around the world joining together to build gigantic systems).

They messaged me a few days ago about Bitcoin, saying that I wasn't the only one bugging them Niiice.

Bitcoin Media: Juice Rap News joins Bitcoin’s struggle

"Juice Rap News relies heavily on viewer support and is fortunate to receive donations from people all around the world – it helps us to remain completely independent.

Most donations, however, come to us via PayPal (booo), and since the illegal banking blockade on WikiLeaks, in which PayPal still participates, we have become more and more uncomfortable with this situation. Over the past year we have also been receiving regular and sometimes rather insistent emails asking why on earth we were not accepting Bitcoin donations. (“Do you accept them?! If not, will you?” – is one of the latest)."

Bitcoin Media: The Brave New World of Mobile Payment

"The recent MobileMoneyAfrica Summit showed impressively just how far ahead Africa is compared to the developed world when it comes to mobile payment. Of necessity, of course: Mobile phones are ubiquitous there, but only a minority of Africans hold a bank account. There are already serious efforts under way to create a truly cashless society. Very predictably, many western companies are rushing in to partake in this market. Most successful so far is Vodafone’s implementation, called M-Pesa."

We found a trendy upscale loft which looked cool but not so much of a conference venue, more for private parties for celebrities.

We want to get a place for 500, but it's difficult finding for that range. Most venues are 200, then a few 300, a huge gap and then places for 2000+ (big warehouses). Still gotta keeps searching and find somewhere nice.

So your bank is being cautious.
